Teresa Mills is one of the most important environmental activists and relentless fighters for environmental justice in Ohio. In 1994, Teresa turned from a housewife to an activist as she led her neighborhood to victory over the Columbus trash-burning power plant. Since this victory, she has gone on to become nationally-recognized as one of the best and most reliable resources on toxic pollution issues and organizing to win against corporate polluters. Teresa is now the director of the Buckeye Environmental Network, which she and others formed to offer guidance and technical assistance to citizen groups facing toxic hazards.
